As I said earlier in the thread, I've had no problem with this myself. Are you running 32-bit Ubuntu? Have you updated to Wine1.3 ?

@ erikvw : Awesome; thanks!
I have been running the ppa wine 1.3, so all I had to do was to grab the kindle for PC app from the amazon page. Bingo, it works....
I'm running 32-bit 10.10 .

What do you mean by not marking the root file? The root directory is not auto-determined, or something else? Are you talking about some deficiency in the wubi install, or something with a...

Thanks! That set me on the right track.
Was looking at man apt_preferences, and somehow got the idea to check wajig, which got me to look for an analogous aptitude command. (Since this is on a...

This is probably very basic -- I'm trying to find the best way to keep a patched version of a package from being overwritten during upgrades.
I've decided to install a ppa version of .deb file (via...

Hmm -- how about trying the complete dpkg path, and piping to 'less' or 'more' ?

I had been using xpdf because I could use the -rv flag to get a reverse black/white display scheme for night reading, e.g.:
xpdf -rv pdffile.pdf

Now, however, I'm back to using evince (gnome...

Well, I also use vim/vi and like the command line, both of which are very dated.
Usually I like the more minimal solutions -- gedit with a few plugins (console, etc.), bypthon, ipython, vi + bash...

It's minimalistic and reasonably configurable (as this thread shows). It's great for small projects. But it's a matter of taste, no?

I don't have a strong opinion either way -- I like some of the changes, and am inconvenienced by others.
But Mark Shuttleworth is pushing for design improvements -- check out his blog for evidence...

Don't use skype, so unfortunately can't help there -- for the volume control, you might check this thread:

What's the issue with it, exactly? Is it not appearing with the Indicator Applet?

You could theoretically have a different .cloginrc for every user on your system.
You don't have to log in from the rancid account or with the rancid user.

Yeah, you can even make a whole new 'panel.' Right click on an empty spot on your existing panel and choose 'Add to panel...' or 'New Panel' to make a new panel. The main applets I've had to...

obscenic & dl7und:

Ah, thanks guys.

I've upgraded five systems to lucid (starting with alphas), and done one fresh install. Didn't have the issues on the fresh install, but had variations of...

Haven't had a chance to try out streaming in firefox here, but thought I'd pass along this link, in case you hadn't tried it:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html

Could you provide us with a description (or URL) of the files that work versus cause problems?

Oddly, I've had that fail before. I probably had some tweak in place that broke the default behavior -- which is why I added the additional tweak of sym-linking vlc to 'totem' . Yuck.

"System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications" might work here, though I don't know exactly what type of files trigger the 'multimedia' execution. I think if this is set to 'custom' with 'vlc'...

That didn't work for me, however, forcing a rewrite of PAM configuration worked:

$ sudo pam-auth-update --force

For reference, I've been making some progress. I checked /var/lib/auth.log and saw issues with cracklib. Some of the issues were resolved by redoing PAM auth:

% sudo pam-auth-update --force
...

I'm having similar issues, also with the updated lucid release.

I'd open a bug somewhere, but don't know where it should go. I'll look around some more, but for now --

The keyring daemon is...

When you say 'origami' are you talking about the origami app?
(i.e., https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome/origami )

Whew. Well, /etc/pyscrabble contains the server_console.cfg file.
Ports are 8888 and 9999 by default.

# game_port: port the Game Server will listen on

Wow. This worked. (I also removed .pulse-cookie for good measure.) Thank you!
